“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, day and night, to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting” – EE. Cummings

“If I was to tell you that we’re gonna try to get a monkey up on a ten foot pedestal to give us Shakespeare monologues, which do you think we should do, train the monkey first or build the pedestal first? Like we could build the pedestal, it seems like we made progress. But that’s probably the wrong thing to have spent time on, cause if we can’t get the monkey to do the monologues on the ground, then we just wasted the time and money on the pedestal.” – Astro Teller (Captain of Moonshots (CEO) of X)
